Abstract: 22,914. Weddigen, E. Oct. 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Sinuous - tube superheaters; firetubes with superheating - jackets. -In a superheater arranged above a locomotive boiler and heated by furnace gases led from the top of the fire-box, the steam is preliminarily superheated by flowing around the smoke - tubes conducting the gases from the fire - box to the superheater-chamber. A divided steam-chamber placed between the boiler shell and the superheater-chamber distributes the steam to and collects it from the preliminary superheater. Steam is led from the dome of the boiler through a pipe R to the lower compartment of the divided steamchamber z, and is conducted downwards and upwards through annular spaces formed by pipes b, c, Fig. 4, arranged around the smoketubes a, which conduct the gases from the firebox to the superheater-chamber. The pipes b open into the upper compartment of the chamber z, from which the preliminarily superheated steam is led into the superheater proper, consisting, in the arrangement shown, of coiled tubes opening into an outlet header K. Pipes d, surrounding the concentric pipes a, b, c, and containing stagnant furnace gases, prevent the contact of wet steam with the surfaces of the superheating-tubes c.

Abstract: 24,907. Frost, F. R., and Rubardt, J. L. C. Oct. 26. Statistics, compiling and tabulating mechanically.-A machine for sorting documents &c. comprises a receptacle 26, Figs. 1 and 3, to hold the documents to be sorted, a rotary transfer drum 18 having staggered pins 1<1>, 2<1>, 3<1> ... which engage holes in the documents, and a rotary table 36 carrying receptacles 37, with mechanism for rotating the drum and table synchronously so that each pin and its corresponding receptacle are presented simultaneously at the delivery point. The drum shaft 17 is supported at one end in a bearing 14, and at the other end in a sleeve 15, in which it can be moved axially, and is secured in position by means of a sliding bolt 43 engaging one or other of two grooves 39, 40 in the shaft. The sleeve 15 is supported in a bearing 13 and driven by sprocket-gearing from a shaft 22 which drives the table 36 through gearing 23, 30, shaft 31, and gearing 33, 34. The delivery board 28, which is secured to a bracket 27 carried by the standards 12, has sides 28<1> and a central member 29 to prevent the documents from sagging as they leave the drum 18. The documents are each perforated with four D or other shaped holes a, b, c, d, Fig. 5, two at the top and two at the bottom edge, according to the particular classes or divisions into which the documents are to be classified. The sets of perforations may represent amounts or other classifications. The documents having been sorted according to the perforations a, the drum 18 may be moved into the dotted position shown in Fig. 3, and the documents sorted according to the perforations b, after which the documents may be reversed and sorted according to the perforations c, d. The receptacle 26 is adjustable vertically and laterally on its support 44. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the drum is dispensed with, and the receptacles 37 on the rotating table 36 provided with projecting pins 1<1>, 2<1>, 3<1>, 4<1> situated at different distances from the centre of the table. When a perforation in the lowermost document of the file is engaged by a pin, the document is withdrawn from the receptacle 26, and drops into the corresponding receptacle 37. The table 36 may be inclined, horizontal, or vertical, and the pickers or pins may be arranged outside the receptacles 31 in any convenient manner. The machine is applicable for sorting cheques, bills, bank notes, postal orders, vouchers, accounts, tickets, labels, coupons, dividend warrants, paper-money, time cards, &c. into numerical or alphabetical order, or according to any predetermined classification.

Abstract: 29,026. Spiers, W., and Gibbs, G. H. Dec. 14. Circular machines.-In machines of the type having two needle-cylinders placed end to end, the top cylinder is carried by an arm 1, and is held stationary against the pull of the rotary ribber arm b by means of crossed bolts 8 mounted in slide-ways in the upper end 10 of the cylinder spindle. The ends of the bolts 8 engage slots 12 in a stationary ring 13, but the bolts are withdrawn in turn from engagement therewith to allow the thread-guide 4 to pass, by means of a rotary cam 14 acting on butts 15 on the undersides of the bolts. The threadguide 4 and cam 14 rotate with the ribber arm b. In a modified form, the rotary ribber arm cap, Fig. 6, carries two pinions 31, 35 of the same size, geared together, the pinion 31 also gearing with a pinion 26 on the cylinder spindle, and on the axle of the pinion 35 is mounted a pinion 34 gearing with a fixed annular wheel 28. The arrangement of the gearing is such that no movement is imparted to the cylinder spindle. The ring 13 carries a lug 19 held in position between set-screws on a block 20. The top cylinder can be adjusted circumferentially by shifting the block 20 along a rib 23 on which it is mounted.

Mixing liquids in definite proportions.-The apparatus described in Specification 15,305/07, [Class 111, Sewage &c.], in which liquid flowing through a pipe a turns a motor or turbine b operating a pump f to supply reagent to the pipe a, is modified by the addition of a Venturi-pipe g, the mouth and throat of which are connected to either end of a closed receptacle k, from which chemical is supplied to the pipe a when the flow of liquid is insufficient to operate the motor and pump f. When this is the case the balls of a governor c, as described in Specification 955/72, [Class 111, Sewage &c.], rotated from the spindle of the motor, fall and by a lever arrangement operate a valve d to admit liquid from the pipe a through a pipe d<2> to a cylinder q.
